At El Centro Comunal Latino office,Room #200
The Latino Legal Referral Program, created in conjunction
with Indiana Legal Services, Bloomington; the District 10 Pro Bono Project;
and the Indiana University School of Law, will connect private attorneys
or legal service organizations with Spanish speakers seeking legal help.
Fees will be based on individual legal needs and financial means.
Spanish speaking volunteers will take applications for civil legal matters
at designated time, and the referral program will ensure, to the extent
possible, that the Latino applicant Is matched with an attorney and an
interpreter if necessary. CCL hopes that this program will help break
down the barriers that keep Latinos in our community from accessing the
justice system. The referral program is also developing a Spanish legal
handbook with information on how to navigate the United States and Indiana's
legal system. For more information contact us at elcentrocomunal@gmail.com.
